With the Holiday Season upon us it is so important to be mindful about selfcare. The 2 most important, but most neglected types of selfcare are Sleep and Nutrition. Take time to get enough sleep and nap if you feel tired, either 20 minutes or 90-120 minutes, to feel refreshed. Drink water and eat plenty of fiber and protein to have longer lasting energy.
Both of these selfcare activities can improve cognitive function and the ability to problem solve & cope.
Happy Holidays!!
